Well, also what happened in the last 40 years was that the administrative state exploded in size.
And, now, for every new law that Congress passes, unelected bureaucrats in federal agencies create TWENTY-SEVEN new laws. https://www.forbes.com/sites/waynecrews/2017/08/15/how-many-rules-and-regulations-do-federal-agencies-issue/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/waynecrews/2017/08/15/how-many-...
And the size of the federal government has become simply immense, even discounting the size of the world's largest military. It's by far the world's largest employer in terms of monetary spend.
So, overturning Chevron was just a tiny step toward curbing the massive power that government agencies have over the citizens that they purport to serve.
- spencerflem 2y agoIts worth mentioning that congress passed only 27 laws in 2023. You can read them all here, many were for trivial things like commemorative coins or digital duck hunting licences: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/19/us/politics/bills-laws-2023-house-congress.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/19/us/politics/bills-laws-20... Delegating is how things get done, surely you wouldn't like the individual details of every single thing you do at work to decided by the C-Suite.
